Whites?
My last pair lasted shockingly. As my feet swelled up (it was hot in France) all of the glue holding the rubber onto the upper gave up leaving me with a painful boot that twisted uncontrollably.
Might be worth looking at these if you can find a place to try on (size same as 5:10s)? Same vibram rubber as Sportiva shoes. Impressed with build quality. http://www.bananafingers.co.uk/tenaya-masai-p-1203.html I've got a pair of these and a pair of 'inti' s - the velcro ones. Feel similar (but better imo) to anasazi velcros for good allroundederness.... Early days but I can't really fault them so far.

I like the sound of a smaller heel cup on a shoe very similar to a lace up anasazi.

What I don't like is how quickly they lose the lateral toe stiffness at which point they start to feel like Verdes so not a problem for you.
and they feel a bit clumsy and lack precision.
